((Okay chapter posted again, I have absolutely no clue what the hell Wattpad did but it duplicated two parts of my story and just dropped them at random places 🤣 it should be sorted now. Enjoy!))

Y/N nervously bounces on her feet, eyes darting between the market entrance and back to the parking lot where Taehyung said he was going to meet her.

What if he doesn't show?

What if she has to do the walk of shame home?

She shakes those thoughts out of her head, telling herself to stop worrying.

Taehyung isn't like that.

He wouldn't do something like that to someone.

Y/N likes to think she's getting better, she doesn't doubt herself as much and isn't as nervous around Taehyung anymore but that doesn't mean she's totally healed.

So at times the doubts resurface, she questions if she's good enough and if Taehyung will stick around.

It sounds crazy, the two met only three months ago but during that time they had shared so much and started to help the other heal.

She couldn't lose him.

She couldn't imagine her life without him.

Was it possible to fall this quickly?

Was it even love? Or was it more like obsession?

Lust?

One broken person connecting with another?

No.

It wasn't that, it couldn't be...not with the way she felt.

"What has you thinking so hard Tink?" Taehyung's voice interrupts her doubts, she chuckles and feels her heart skip several beats as he approaches.

Of course he's going to look fantastic.

Taehyung's eyes are filled with fondness as he gives her the once over, noticing the similarities in their outfits.

"We're matching!" He chuckles.

Looking over the tight black jeans which hug her curves beautifully, denim shirt and chunky gray sweater.

Adorable. He thinks.

Y/N chuckles and gives a nod, eyes falling over his thighs in those slacks. 

This probably isn't the time to be thinking about his thighs but she's got a kink and there's absolutely nothing wrong with checking out her date.

Don't stare for too long Y/N.....focus.

The moment their eyes meet she curses at the smug smirk on Taehyung's perfect face.

"You ready to go eat some food?" Taehyung noticed, of course he did but that didn't mean he was going to bring attention to the fact.

Y/N looked nervous, the last thing he wanted was to tease her and make it worse so he simply offered his arm which she accept with a smile and walked through the entrance to the market.

Y/N loves the hustle and bustle, the sounds of people talking with stall owners and the beautiful smells of different foods from across the world.

It's a beautiful location and even though there's a slight chill to the air it doesn't phase her, she's got her many layers on as Taehyung calls it and plus with Taehyung pressed up against her pointing out stalls she feels warmer than she's ever felt before.

"What about that one?" Taehyung speaks up after about fifteen minutes of exploring and getting their bearings.

Y/N looks across to the stall where Tae is pointing and smiles. "The British stall? You want fish and chips?" Y/N chuckles as Taehyung gently pulls her with him.

"Hello!" He greets the woman running the stall with a smile, eyes filled with interest as he looks across the many things on offer.

The woman is probably approaching sixty, small in height and slightly larger around the middle with kind eyes and a gentle smile.

"Hello to you too dear, anything you would like to try?"

"Can we try a small fish chips and mushy peas please?" Taehyung speaks in perfect English which shocks Y/N, this entire time she's always spoken to him using his first language and he never once told her he could speak English let alone speak it so well.

"Wait you speak English?" Y/N questions, still astounded as Tae chuckles and gives a nod.

"I spent lots of time in London growing up, we had a family vacation home there and our parents taught us both the language."

"Why didn't you tell me? This whole time you've had to deal with my terrible attempt at speaking Korean and you never once said anything."

"Y/N don't sell yourself short, yeah on occasion you trip up over your pronunciation and get a few things wrong but so do I when it comes to English."

"I can't believe you speak English, you do it so well! Plus I didn't know you had a vacation home in London, or that you spent time there."

"That's what happens when you get to know a person, you find things out about them slowly and surely over time."

Y/N gives a nod, smiling when the woman running the stall passes over their order.

"You two look adorable together by the way." She smiles, handing Taehyung his change.

"I would have to agree with you." Taehyung winks which causes the woman to chuckle, Y/N rolls her eyes playfully and gently smacks his chest.

"Here try some fish." She giggles, pushing a small piece through his parted lips.

"Okay rude, trying to shut me up with food when I'm talking to my new friend about how cute you are." He chews around his words, Y/N giggling as he dips a chip in some peas and feeds her some.

"Have fun you two." The woman gives them a wave as they walk away from the stall.

"She was adorable, think I'll take her on a date instead....she would appreciate me more." Taehyung teases as they walk across to a bench, settling down beside each other to finish their food.

"Oh sure, go right ahead then." Y/N rolls her eyes playfully, opening her mouth as Taehyung feeds her some fish.

"You know." Taehyung pauses, swallowing his food. "I'm supposed feed you aphrodisiac type foods, chocolate and strawberries....all those kinds of things and here I am feeding you fish." He waggles his brows, pulling the creepiest possible face. "Sexy right? Huh?"

Y/N furrows her brow, trying her absolute hardest not to laugh as she plays along.

"Oh totally sexy, we both smell of fish and there's nothing sexier than that."

"Exactly what I was thinking....actually we should totally kiss right now."

Y/N squeals as Taehyung playfully places chaste kisses on her soft lips.

"My beautiful fish girl." He chuckles, continuing with the teasing once he's finished with his kisses.

"I don't think a guy has ever called me that before." She laughs, nerves disappearing.

They always do around Taehyung.

Everything is so easy around him.

"Can I call you my fish boy then?" She plays along with a smile.

"Absolutely."

Flashback.

"Number thirty, wear matching outfits on a date. Do all the cliche stuff like hold hands and feed each other, end the night under the stars."

Taehyung rolls his eyes, how many times does he have to tell his brother to not read his list.

How did he even find it?! He thought it was well hidden!

"I know all your hiding places Tae, you should know this by now." Jin explains, knowing exactly what his younger brother was thinking.

"I told you not to read my list, why do you care so much about it?" Taehyung questions, tone stern as he settles Jin back into bed. "You also need to stop moving around so much, it drains your energy and we've got the hospital visit tomorrow."

"I don't want to do the visits anymore Tae." Jin sighs, eyes closing as his head gets comfortable on the pillow.

Tae feels his heart drop, he hates it when Jin starts to sound so defeated but part of him understands. It must be so exhausting especially when the end result is going to be the same but they can't give up....what if they find a way for him to get better?

"Jin you can't quit now, there's always a chance."

"It's terminal Taehyung, there's no chance and I'm not saying that to sound all melancholy and defeated....just speaking the truth."

Jin keeps his eyes closed as Taehyung sits beside him on the bed, he's exhausted after his little expedition to the treehouse where he found Taehyung's list.

Taehyung shifts, bringing Jin's head to rest on his shoulder as he rubs soothing circles along his back.

"Told you it would only exhaust you, why don't you ever listen to me?" Taehyung sighs, Jin chuckles.

"I'm a rebel, we both know I hate to follow the rules."

Taehyung smirks, gently hitting his back before continuing the circles.

"Yeah sure hyung, keep telling yourself that."

They fall into a comfortable silence, the two watching another of Jin's favourite movies.

It's around an hour later when Jin on the verge of sleep speaks again.

"When you go on your cliche date, wearing matching clothes and end it looking up at the stars can you do something for me?"

Taehyung hums, not really wanting to talk about the damn list again.

"Ask her if it hurt."

Taehyung's brow furrows. "If what hurt?"

"When she fell from heaven." Jin laughs weakly, sleep finally claiming him.

Taehyung places a kiss to his head.

"Sure thing hyung."

He doesn't mean it.

He'll never say it.

He refuses to fall in love.

End of flashback.

The two spent the next few hours going from stall to stall, trying different foods and drinks.

Taehyung seemed to make friends easily with all the stall owners, charming them with his boxy smile and endless charisma as Y/N watched with the fondest of expressions.

They talked about his family vacations in London, how there were other places he wanted to visit but hadn't found time yet.

Y/N expressed her desire to travel, how she would love to visit Paris and Rome in particular.

"Maybe one day we can go together." Taehyung had suggested when they finished the last of their chocolate dipped churros.

"I would love that." Y/N replied, heat rushing to her cheeks when Taehyung kissed the corner of her mouth, tongue collecting the chocolate there.

"I would love that too." He smirked, brushing their noses together.

Y/N dragged Taehyung to a clothing stall, insisting he buy himself a coat as the temperature dropped and she could see he was getting cold.

"Then you've got to get one too, can't have you getting cold either." He smiled, picking out a cute black one.

"You're missing something." Taehyung looked her over, heart barely contained inside his chest.

She was so adorable.

So beautiful.

"Here." He pulled a hat over her head, complete with fluffy bobble and chuckled. "Perfect."

Later that evening as the stars somewhat filled the sky, this was Seoul after all Taehyung told Y/N that this was on his list.

The two of them, doing all the cliche things and ending it under the stars.

"I think he's up there you know, watching and probably laughing at me right now." Taehyung smiles, eyes on the canvas above them as they walked through the exit.

"I don't think he would be laughing at you." Y/N shakes her head, hands cupping his cheeks as they stopped and turned to face each other.

"What do you think he would be doing then?" Taehyung asked, arms wrapping around Y/N's waist and pulling her closer.

"He would be happy for you and so proud, I think that's what he would be doing."

Did it hurt.

Taehyung recalls the words and smiles.

"Did it hurt?"

"Did what hurt?" Y/N chuckled.

"When you fell from heaven?" Taehyung closed his eyes, cringing.

Y/N smiled, the biggest and most ridiculous smile that made her face ache and then she laughed.

"Not as much as it must've hurt you to say that." Y/N laughed harder, holding tight as Taehyung lifted her up off her feet.

"I can't wait to fall in love with you." Taehyung whispered, smile breathtaking.

"Ditto." She replied.
